Jalapeno Popper Chicken

I love to use boneless, skinless chicken breasts for quick dinners; they are easily manipulated and cook in no time!

I came across some beautiful Hatch Chiles a few weeks ago and knew I had to roast them. Then I thought about what I can make for dinner and it came to me… a roasted pepper chicken dish! It then evolved into a jalapeno popper chicken dinner 🙂 I mean, who doesn’t love a jalapeno popper?

I worked on this recipe for a while until it reached perfection. So now I am officially ready to share it with you all 🙂

This is the perfect game day dish, so prepare it for your friends and family as you watch your favorite team win!

Place chicken in between two pieces of parchment paper and beat with a heavy pan.

2. Season chicken breast with half of the salt (1/4 teaspoon), pepper (1/4 teaspoon) and garlic powder (1/4 teaspoon). Coat bottom of pan with olive oil and place chicken in pan. Top with chopped onion. Cook for 20 minutes or until chicken is fully cooked.

3. Roast jalapenos on open flame. Peel away charred skin using a paper towel. Chop into small pieces. If you like more heat, leave in the seeds. If you like a more mild heat, omit the seeds 🙂

4. While chicken is cooking, combine cream cheese, Greek yogurt, mayo, cheddar cheese and jalapeno and remaining seasoning in a large bowl. Mix until all ingredients are combined.

4. Mix together melted butter and panko breadcrumbs.

5. Remove chicken from oven. Spread cheese mixture over chicken in a smooth even layer. Sprinkle with panko bread crumbs. Place in oven for 10 minutes; until cheese is melted.

6. Place pan under broiler for 2-3 minutes until panko is golden brown. Remove from oven.
